![]() ![]() ![]() The language wasn’t as horrible as it could be where anachronistic phrases are concerned, I suppose. There were other more minor anachronistic details as well. The book begins when heiress Minerva Dodger and the Duke of Ashebury meet at a secret club for masked ladies who want anonymous sex. ![]() This one is set in the 1870s and it is not particularly faithful to history. But since I don’t like coming into series from the middle, I decided to start with book one, Falling into Bed with a Duke (not to be confused with the aforementioned Waking Up with the Duke they’re not even in the same series, ha). I also wanted to see if the book could carry this premise off it seemed like a tough one. However, lately I’ve been desperate for an engaging historical romance and I was intrigued by the premise of book two in the Hellions of Havisham series, The Earl Takes All, where the hero impersonates his dead twin so that his sister-in-law won’t miscarry her and his brother’s child. I haven’t had the best experience with Lorraine Heath both Sweet Lullaby and Waking Up with the Duke disappointed me.
